Chapter 183 - 182 Not All Is Wonderful
Zombies’ perceptual abilities significantly decreased at night, so if one was to go to Ji City, of course, they would choose the evening.
This time Gao Yuan went into battle lightly, but this so-called light gear only meant he was without a Shield.
Why didn’t he bring a Shield this time? Because it wasn’t really necessary. This was an exploration mission, but not obligatory. If Gao Yuan sensed danger, even the slightest hint of it, he would immediately turn back.
So how could Gao Yuan be sure that he could detect danger in time and avoid it? Because he had a drone overhead.
The Serpent People had unleashed a powerful Electromagnetic Pulse, and in one fell swoop, unprotected electronics were rendered useless. Moreover, this was a global storm, so the current electromagnetic environment was unprecedentedly clean.
In the cities, the range of radio transmission was quite short. Apart from blockades by buildings, the complex electromagnetic environment was a major factor in shortening the range of radio communications. But now, the purification of the electromagnetic environment had significantly extended the control distance of drones.
Plus, the drone above Gao Yuan’s head wasn’t some small, consumer-grade model. It was a military-grade, long-endurance, long-distance reconnaissance drone.
Using the drone was somewhat of an adventure, because it was uncertain whether the Serpent People would attack it. However, the necessary tests had to be done, so Gao Yuan had to go back to the mall where survivors might be, and the military also just happened to test whether the drone could provoke the Serpent People.
With the high-altitude view provided by the drone, Gao Yuan felt as if he had activated a God’s-eye view, which simplified his re-entrance into Ji City tremendously.
Barely any zombies could escape the aerial drone’s scouting. Watching the screen filled with red dots, Gao Yuan felt like he was using a x-ray cheat. If there were too many zombies, he would bypass them, and if there were few, he would go straight through them.
